00:44 - ApothecaryI never saw the appeal of Pallbearer. Ok music, but not worth the enormous praise they've been getting by some. Didn't ever impress me much on album and when I saw them live with Deafheaven I wasn't really won over either

Strangely I didn't like it as much as SiS or their debut. Doesn't sound as haunting as its successor or as mysterious as the one before it. Still an very well written album but a bit too much prog and not enough bm here.

OK wow. Another awesome band I had never heard of. I checked them out because someone compared them to some of the earlier work by Green Carnation. The comparison was warranted: There are definitely some similarities.

The performance is a bit lacking, especially in the vocal department, and the production values are really quite bad, but the atmosphere is great, and the songwriting is so good that it is hard to really care about the flawed execution.
